Samuel Peterson’s Reviews > Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Vol. 8 > Status Update

Now Rengoku's dad can finally grieve.

Of course the secrer writings are ruined. The hero doesn't get the knowledge that he needs that easily.

I don't understand this panel.

Oof, Tanjiro was not expecting that from Rengoku's father.

This disguise by Muzan is a weird one. He is a little, sickly kid of a wealthy family. And yet, at the same time, in a previous volume, he is also a husband to a wife and child in Tokyo. How does he spend his time between the two? And that's on top of him being the master demon of all demons in Japan.

I'm reading of Rengoku's death, and it still tears me up! I had first seen it in the anime some time ago, and that was the first time I cried to Demon Slayer (I would cry a few more times to later volumes).

Rengoku's final thoughts are on his mother's wise words. I'll think I'll use them in my DnD campaign.

"Growing old and dying...is what gives meaning and beauty to the fleeting span of a human life. It's precisely because we age and die...that our lives have value...and nobility." Such a good speech.

Uh-oh.

I'm just steamrolling on books on these last couple of months.
